Liam Dickinson (no doubt Fixtures)

[Braders]

Brighton are closing in on the signing of Derby striker Liam Dickinson, skysports.com understands.

Dickinson looks set to leave Derby this summer with the player well down the pecking order at Pride Park and the club looking to trim their squad.

Norwich have had two bids rejected for 23-year-old, but now Brighton have entered the race and are close to agreeing a fee with Derby for the former Stockport hit-man.

Dickinson's agent, Phil Sproson, has confirmed Brighton are in talks with Derby and a deal could be done in the near future.

"There is a strong interest from Brighton in Liam and talks are ongoing," Sproson told skysports.com.

"The two clubs are trying to agree a fee and I don't think they are too far apart.

"Liam wants to be playing regular first-team football and he knows his chances at Derby will be limited so he is hoping a deal can be agreed with Brighton."

great news

Good News

First team football? Oh well, that's Murray off then.

 

[severnside gull]

the replacement for Murray possibly - hence we can afford to pay the fee (got to be £400Kish once all the add-ons are included)

Or we START with Murray and Dickinson. Forster is not fit yet, old, and would make a tremendous sub - like in the Stockport game

 

[Dirty Dave]

Look how little Murray and Forster played together last season though. If that is anything to go by, we could do with one more joing them as it's unlikely they'll both play every game

would have to agree with that

On the face of it good news, however when agents are directly quoted it becomes a bit fishy, lets hope the agent isn't trying to generate further interest.

I would be over the moon if we got Dickinson in

 

[NF9]

Sounds very positive, he's got a decent scoring record at this level and championship level , if you forget Leeds where he was apparently booed after one miss.(ala davies)

Good work.

If Norwich are serious I doubt we will get a look in.

Maybe his agent is using our 'interest' to get more from Norwich.

Still here is hoping

 

[Don Quixote]

If we had him and Murray

 

[Caveman]

If Norwich are serious I doubt we will get a look in.

Maybe his agent is using our 'interest' to get more from Norwich.

Still here is hoping

That is exactly what I was thinking.

Aren't Norwich skint though?

 

[Insel affe]

I am so pleased with this news if true, Russell is really going about buisness with great results so far. Im starting to get optimistic about next season...........We could be the dark horse ( dont tell Das reich we could be a dark horse though !)

That is fantastic news, IMHO...

 

[Drumstick]

That would be AMAZING!! Murray and Dickinson up front!

If he signs can I be the first to say he was CHEAP-as-CHIPS??

 

[Napper]

Be good to have him. How good is he though ? Not had look in at Derby and couldnt score for leeds. Scored 1 in 3 in League 2 .

6ft 4 so that is a major plus.

I think a good signing, surely worth 15 goals a season ?

Unsure he is the 20 + striker though

 

[jharris]

Think Dickinson was still at Stockport when Murray was on loan so they may of played together already.The McNulty,Dicker,Tunicliffe situation will help him bed in if we do sign him.
